When you buy roller garage doors you have two options – insulated roller doors and single skin doors. You’ll need different measurements depending on which you would like to order.

Measuring for single skin doors

When buying a single skin garage door you should be aware that it is only possible to fit this kind of door behind a structural opening. Different manufacturers will have specific measurements that they need to please get in contact with us to talk about what you might need to get the exact measurements. Usually you will need the width of the opening plus 50mm and the height of the opening measured from the floor to the top of the opening.

Measuring for insulated doors

Once again with insulated roller doors you need to know which manufacturer you are using in order to get the right measurements. You will need to measure the height, width and inside face measurements on both sides of the opening. You also need to measure that they is enough headroom above the door for the rolled door to sit.
